Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will visit Cuba during a tour of Latin American countries this month, Russian news agencies reported Friday.
"The big Latin American tour is connected with the APEC summit in Lima, after which the president will visit Venezuela, Brazil and Cuba," presidential spokeswoman Natalya Timakova, who is attending a European Union-Russia summit in Nice, France, was quoted by RIA Novosti as saying.
Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque handed an invitation from President Raul Castro to Medvedev during his visit to Moscow this week.
The Russian government announced last week it had approved a state loan to Cuba of up to 335 million U.S. dollars to buy Russian goods and services.
